An Update To "A Guidebook to 'Breaking Bad' Filming Locations: Albuquerque as Physical Setting and Indispensable Character"

I’d like to announce a new update to the 3rd edition of my book “A Guidebook to 'Breaking Bad' Filming Locations: Albuquerque as Physical Setting and Indispensable Character” (available on Amazon; on Kindle). More updates will come as need and information dictates. It won't really be done until Walt says it’s done.

(The book preview available on Amazon still shows the January update, but I’m reassured by the Amazon folks that the information will be updated in a few weeks.)

The book now contains filming locations associated with Season 2 of ‘Better Call Saul’ (BCS), with better punctuation (because it is a thing) and a few more pictures. There are also more stories taken from various sources regarding Vince Gilligan’s TV shows, possible sources of his inspirations, and the geography and history of Albuquerque and vicinity. Such stories include:

• Like Gus Fring, Jack Parsons got too close to the fire;
• The BCS plot line copped from ‘Beavis and Butthead’;
• Vince Gilligan is increasingly in thrall to New Mexico’s ancient Chaco Meridian;
• How a South Valley Messiah captured the imagination of the country in 1895; and,
• How Manhattan Project spies rendezvoused in downtown Albuquerque by employing a code embedded in Walt Whitman’s ‘Leaves of Grass’.
